Your earning potential is entirely dependent on your own products, ideas, techniques; your execution of your business plan; the time you devote to the program, ideas and techniques offered and utilized; as well as your finances, your knowledge and your skill.

Any such problem shall be governed solely by the agreement between you and that provider. Please note that the applicable jurisdiction may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. Some of the above exclusions may thus not apply to you.

10. CMA shall not be responsible for any performance or service problems caused by any third party website or third party service provider (including, for example, your web service provider service, stripe payment services, your software and/or any updates or upgrades to that software).

CMA shall refuse any refund thirty (30) days after your payment for use of the site and/or any content, either pursuant to the academy’s customer license agreement or otherwise, regardless of the reason for disruption.

11. In no event shall CMA be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, punitive, reliance or consequential damages, whether foreseeable or not, including, but not limited to, damage or loss of property, equipment, information or data, loss of profits, revenue or goodwill, cost of capital, cost of replacement services, or claims for service interruptions or transmission problems, occasioned by any defect in the site, the content, and/or related materials, the inability to use services provided hereunder or any other cause whatsoever with respect thereto, regardless of theory of liability. This limitation will apply even if the academy has been advised or is aware of the possibility of such damages.

12. You agree to indemnify and hold CMA and each of its directors, officers employees, and agents, harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of this Agreement, (ii) any violation by you of law or the rights of any third party, (iii) any materials, information, works and/or other content of whatever nature or media that you post or share on or through the Site, (iv) your use of the Site or any services that the Academy may provide via the Site, and (v) your conduct in connection with the Site or the services or with other users of the Site or the services. CMA reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification under this Section. In such event, you shall provide CMA with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by CMA.

13. The provisions of these Terms of Use are for the benefit of CMA, its subsidiaries, affiliates and its third party content providers and licensors, and each shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf.

14. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You further submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the province and federal courts sitting in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
